Lace Sachet

Sewing Machine -Using a sewing machine will be a great advantage when making these sachets. However, you will be able to make them using a needle and thread or fusible web when binding them together.

1. Fold the lace square in half and cut it. Fold each half in half again and cut them. You will use only 3 of the 4 pieces.

2. Fold each lace section in half, making a rectangle shape and iron it. Sew one short side and one long side. With one side folded over, sewing the others should make a tube shape with the top open. If you don’t have a sewing machine, you may stitch the sides by hand or insert fusible web and iron them together.

3. Fold the lace tubes inside out, so the seam is on the inside. Stuff each one with equal amounts of lavender and rose petals until they are plump. Be sure to scent your contents first by using a drop of fragrance oil. This works best if you mix the lavender, unscented potpourri, dried rose buds or rose petals in a bowl after you have scented it.

4. Turn the top section in to create a finished edge. If you are fusing it : Insert a small piece of fusible web and apply a hot iron to seal the end. Or hand sew it closed.

5. Find the center of the ribbon and place it under one of the small pillow shaped sachets. Stack the other two on top of it and tie the ribbon around all three. Knot the ribbon on top and tie a bow. Trim the ends of the ribbon in a V shape.
